FIA Links with Hire Heroes USA, February 22nd 2008, Pleasantville, NJ

FOODSERVICE INSTITUTE OF AMERICA LINKS WITH HIRE HEROES USA 
Alliance to assist returning veterans find career opportunities in the Foodservice Industry , FIA is collaborating with Hire Heroes USA  to assist veterans find career opportunities within the foodservice industry.
 
This alliance is a result of FIA’s December 2007 Symposium, Foodservice Professionals … the Next Generation. The interactive component of this program generated ideas to solve the growing issue of the lack of available personnel and talent across the foodservice industry. One viable solution was the recruitment of military veterans. An action team was formed to investigate opportunities and developed a working relationship with Hire Heroes USA.

 
Hire Heroes’ mission is to be the bridge between returning soldiers and career opportunities across the country. These men and women could fill the numerous opportunities that are available in the foodservice industry.
 
At this time, FIA is working with member companies that want to recruit and hire veteran(s). FIA’s role is to be the linking communication source between Hire Heroes USA and our member companies.  FIA has embraced this rewarding program as a way to help the both the foodservice industry acquire great talent and give recognition to the men and women who have served and protected our country.
